An Alabama woman is showing the nation "how we do it in the South."

A video of Crenshaw County native, Hannah Barron, 19, catching -- noodling to be exact – a 30-pound catfish has received more than 15 million views and caught the attention of the Hunt Channel.

"I like to hunt and fish," Barron, who attends Lurleen B. Wallace Community College, said in a Total Outdoor Programming video. "We've been noodling for four years."

Noodling is the southern tradition of catching a catfish by placing your bare (or gloved) hands in a known catfish hole and waiting for the fish to bite.

"I like to stick my hand as far down their throat as I can get it and grab a handful of guts or whatever I can find," Barron said in a distinct southern drawl.
